Epihysterinum.
Epiphysterin. A nosode.
Clinical.─
Fibroma. Menorrhagia. Metrorrhagia.
Characteristics.─
This is one of Dr. Burnett’s
nosodes, used by him in cases of hćmorrhage and obtained, as I conclude, from a case of
hćmorrhage in a patient suffering from fibrous tumour, possibly with malignant elements. At
any rate, I have found it of great value in controlling uterine hćmorrhage, whether
connected with fibrous growth or not. I have used it in the 30th upwards, giving one or two
doses weekly.
